Just when you think there is no chance, fate may have found a way. Kevin Smith was the showrunner for both "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" and "Masters of the Universe: Revolution", two animated series made for Netflix released in 2021 and 2024 respectively that began as an adult spiritual sequel to the classic 1983 Filmation cartoon "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe". While the reviews and fan reaction were extremely positive with the last entry "Masters of the Universe: Revolution", the sophomore season ended with a story tease of Despara (a version of Force Captain Adora) that till now…

Oh yeah! Bring it on! I really hope this becomes a thing. I wonder if Netflix will still do it, only because they've stopped being the main producer foe He-Man stiff at this point.

Despara is such a memorable character from the DC comics ... I mean, what wouldn't I be giving to see her accomplishing these horrible tasks, in motion this time, of course!

Fun fact: I met Grey Delisle at a con last September. Very nice person. Was wearing Azula cosplay because that's one of her favorite roles. I got her to sign the cardback of my Mattel Creations Origins Despara with a Carmelita Fox quote. From what I can remember about her role as Despara when I asked her, she told me that she knows Melandy Britt doesn't like her (Despara as a character). I brought it up to the forums a while back and some responded speculating Britt just doesn't like Adora being portrayed as a villain, which makes sense.

 

Also really funny thing, it wasn't until a while after the con that I found out Grey also voiced Evil-Lyn in the Netflix show. Had I known I would've asked her about it.

 

I did meet her co-star from the show, Roger Craig Smith (Trap Jaw) at another con a few months ago, brought that role up to him and he had a casual "yeah I did that" type response. I mean I'm way more invested in the Blue Blur he's most known for voicing. I just find it funny that I've met both an Evil-Lyn and Trap Jaw these ways.

Would love to see some more of Kevin Smith's story, especially what they had planned for Despara and seeing if they'd incorporate anything else from the 2012 comic run.

The 2012 comics really brought me back into He-Man (nearly 30 years after being a kid watching Filmation and playing with some original toys) with some really talented artists and writers.

Wouldn't say they were perfect, but they brought new ideas, some fun twists, and had a definitive start and end. 😉
Heck, they even made me appreciate the Snake Men 

I wish they were more accessible to people that missed them. 

 

@slycooperastroboy51 very cool fun facts! I can see why Melendy might not like Despara, for sure. (Had trouble logging into the forum for a few days, meant to comment on your thread a bit ago about show ideas: sounded fun, I'd give that show a watch)

Revelation/Revolution (and now the movie) are probably my favorite pieces of MOTU entertainment (from an adult perspective), and I remain disheartened at how much hate was thrown at Kevin Smith over Revelation in particular, to the point where he's still referencing it. There were obviously choices that not everyone agreed with (didn't overly bother me), but I don't see how anyone can't objectively say that it was done with a deep understanding of the universe and an attempt to move the story forward in a more mature fashion.

I REALLY hope we get an animated Part 3 to this series, although a lot of this reads like a comic, or something of that nature. I will be over the moon though if it's a new Netflix continuation series and will keep my fingers crossed!

I didn't expect to read this. I can't believe it. I'm so excited! Is it wrong to say this excites me more than the movie because it does. I'm so happy I feel like dancing y'all!

Heck yes! Let's hope this is real! I would love to see a third season of MOTU from Kevin Smith and a conclusion to the story! For the Honor of Grayskull!


By the power, for the honor, for the glory of Grayskull!

Very unexpected news. I assumed this show was dead in the water because Revolution's ratings weren't great. I'd guess that Amazon picked it up.
